Another example of Conservatives co-opting Dr. King now that he's safe in his grave. But had he lived, he wouldn't be anywhere near as popular with Conservatives. But in death, Conservatives find him quite useful.
Think he's niece, would know more about him than you!!!

michael reagan routinely says things about ronald reagan that conservatives say are false.

why should we believe alveda king?

both have something to gain.

ill trust history. history says king was anti war, pro union.

like i said in my prior post, he was more of a libertarian then anything else.

I love Alveda King, and Glenn Beck. They are both good people, and send out good messages. Who cares if MLK was a conservative or a liberal?! He was a great man that made a big change.

NEWS FLASH: Not everything has to be about left and right!

Beck has some historic photos here that I had never seen and it's a very good assumption that the general public has not seen some of them, also.

Today is the perfect day to present another Dr. King of that famous, sweet family and stories as well as photos that are fitting and perfect for honoring this worthy holiday.



Pt 1 Beck Dr ALVEDA KING & Pastor STEPHEN BRODEN on CIVIL RIGHTS - YouTube


Part two...


Pt 2 Beck Dr ALVEDA KING & Pastor STEPHEN BRODEN on CIVIL RIGHTS - YouTube


and the Last Part of the 3...



Pt 3 Beck Dr ALVEDA KING & Pastor STEPHEN BRODEN on CIVIL RIGHTS - YouTube

Doctor? She calls herself a doctor? She has an 'honorary' degree,not an earned one.

Courtesy of the fact that her uncle was MLK jnr.

I would bet that her uncle is rolling in his grave.

Those of you trying to imply that Martin Luther King, Jr. was a conservative are extremely wrong. King had leftist leanings, and he was killed while he was organizing the poor people's campaign, which was the kind of movement that would make Beck and the modern-day Republicans ilk gnash, wail, and cry about socialism and class warfare.

If you think that Alveda King is legit, that's your choice, but don't distort the legacy of MLK because out of ignorance. If you take him seriously then you should think more carefully about how his actions correlate to what's going on in our society today. The way we treat the poor and the way we cannot honestly deal with racism are issues to confront as King tried to confront them, rather than glossing over in favor of meaningless platitudes and empty hero worship just to make ourselves feel good.

She's a religious bigot, so blindly distorts and lies like so many do. Coretta Scott King, MLK's wife would know MUCH more about her husband than the fake 'Dr' Alveda. And her views are the direct opposite of this pathetic wannabe who uses her uncle's fame.
